We have our first sign of spring. This is our Oklahoma Red-bud. Its the first thing that seems to wake up this time of year. We had a nice bit of rain yesterday. It rained all night too. Maybe thundershowers this afternoon. I really do love all of the unsettled weather in March. We have birthdays and now a wedding in March. Our three oldest grandsons will be 18 next week. I can't believe how fast time has flown. Eighteen years ago, in one week, I went from being a Mom to a Grandmother of three. In April, I will be a grandmother of 15.
Who knew I would be blessed with such a family. Not me of course. But its all good.
I have hooked a tiny bit this week. Not like I hoped. But getting any hooking done this week of all weeks I consider a win.
This one was fun, but after I finished it I put it away. I didn't look at it for a year, then I got into my rugs and found it again and I liked it. Do you rug hookers do that too? Just put them away and then next time you go and get into your rugs, its like finding treasure? I do. I also find myself cringing at some of the monstrosities I have created.
He is so sweet and its so nice to get to be in his life. We didn't get to see him until he was 4 so its such a blessing to get to see him now.
Some one has been very patient while I write this blog. So we will put on rain shoes and go out into the rain. At least the sun has come out for a tiny bit. Its very wet and muddy.
I hope you have a lovely rest of the week. I hope I have cute pictures to post from the wedding.

To lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully;
To meet others peacefully, joyously;
To face tomorrow confidently, courageously."

Amazing to have 3 grandsons born within a week.
Your CA grandson is just adorable. Such a sweet picture. Love your furkid, too.
March is a big birthday month for my family, too. Son, brother, me. Even ex-hubby 🤣🤣🤣
Your Easter rug is too cute.
With all your birthdays and a wedding this month, even a few minutes of hooking is a plus.
Happy almost spring!

The color on that red-bud is AMAZING! No color here - except white. We had a nasty winter storm the past two days...rain, then ice, then snow and horrible winds with white-out conditions. That is pretty incredible to have 3 grandsons added to your family within in a week...and 18 years ago already. Yikes! The photo of your CA grandson is so very precious. I assume that was done in a professional photographer's studio?? Your Easter rug is adorable. I'd love to see your Halloween one (don't remember seeing it??) And I know exactly what you mean about pulling out an older rug and thinking "what was I thinking??!" I just did that today LOL. Sweet, patient, Polly. Give her some pets from me. ~Robin~
Gosh 15 Grands how wonderful!! I am not a blogger but found you at Saundra of WJ's blog and popped over. I'm in CA. I had to comment and say "Hello" as I too like and have hooked a Whimsy rug. I like her designs and that Easter one you hooked is so cute. We got lots of rain last night. Thankful we should get a break today. Too much at once always makes me nervous. Cheers. Betty
Welcome Betty! So nice you stopped by, if you got rain so did I am in the Central Valley of California, where are you.
I like that you have done Whimsy rugs too.
